This could kill a European

If it didn't contain so many banned ingredients

My pet peeve is when lids are slightly on. It's worse than having no lid at all.

Those new, shitty lids are always slightly on. That's as "on" as they get.

That’s your daily 2,000 calories right there.

Italians will cook your pasta inside a whole wheel of cheese. Spaniards deep fry pork belly and serve it as a snack. Last time I was in Eastern Europe I thought something was a sweet only to discover it was a lump of straight-up pork fat. Just raw. To munch on.

Americans may be more consistent at eating gross murderfood regularly and in large quantities, but they sure aren't the only ones to have it.

Hah! In Scotland we dip pizza in batter and deep fry it. With a deep-fried Mars bar for afters.

The first big wave of immigrants to the US were the Scotch-Irish, which is where the American propensity to deep fry everything comes from.

You can aslo the American usurpation and economic dominance over England as those Scotch-Irish getting their revenge.

Time to make a pilgrimage

Get drunk before having it, but if you're coming here you were probably going to do that anyway

I recommend looking up what an Irish breakfast roll is. Thank me later.

Where do you think pizza comes from?

Fun fact, in many places, soft-serve ice cream is known as "Italian ice cream".

What we are seeing here is a slightly botched traditional Italian lunch.

In many places

In very few places ftfy

Like all things, we have seized it and made it our own. Like how getting Chinese food in an American restaurant only vaguely resembles Chinese cuisine. 💪

[–] [email protected] 22 points 5 months ago (4 children)

Sure, but the Americanized versions of Italian, German, or Chinese foods were made by immigrants adapting their traditional recipes with ingredients they had on hand.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 5 months ago

Just like how italian, German, and Chinese foods came about! America is just more recent and we tend to keep the labels of the influences ao it is more obvious.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

Well, that and adjusting to suit mainstream tastes. Like how garlic bread is largely a Western introduction in Korea, but is preferred sweet there instead of savory.
